In an interview, Paweł Marczewski, a sociologist and head of research at the ideaForum at the Batory Foundation, explains that the focus on Polish youth voters, despite them not being the largest demographic group, is due to their increasing political awareness. Marczewski notes that young people recognize the need to mobilize to be heard, as demonstrated by high youth turnout in the last presidential election. The research aims to understand their political preferences as an indicator of Poland’s future political landscape, explore their motivations for voting despite not being the deciding majority, and assess their current political satisfaction or disillusionment following the 2023 parliamentary elections to see if they are demobilized or seeking new alternatives.
